Graded GOOD 2 by PSA. Very attractive example of the key card from the 1935 Four-On-One Exhibit set featuring slate blue portraits of Boston Braves stars Babe Ruth, Frank Hogan, Wally Berger, and Ed Brandt. The blank-back card was produced by the Exhibit Supply Company of Chicago. This, along with his 1935 Goudey card, was Ruth's last card ever issued as a player. Ruth left the Yankees following the 1934 season to join the Boston Braves. He stayed with the Braves only a few weeks, playing in just 28 games, before announcing his retirement in late May 1935. The card displays outstanding clarity and moderate corner wear (weaker top two). The blank back is clean. Wrinkles and spots of discoloration along the Ruth panel contribute to the assigned grade. This is a solid example of one of the most interesting, significant, and overlooked of all Babe Ruth rarities.
